Browser extensions have privileges roughly equivalent to an application they install. You can definitely get hosed that way.

Thank you. So it really needs to be considered and not ignored. We took away local admin rights, we should probably take away extension free for alls. Tier 1 support got a ticket last week that a user was getting random popups when browsing. It was a bad extension.

Can a browser extension steal a password?

We use Chrome.... UBlock is installed by default, and another extension we use for Gmail attachments is whitelisted so it can be installed if needed. Outside of that users cannot install additional extensions. We also only allow sign-in to Chrome with our own domain and password syncing is disabled. We also push some managed bookmarks down. This is all done via GPO.

Chrome is the only browser allowed and indeed it is the only one installed.

How is your team planning to address Google stopping uBlock? I heard they're introducing changes that render them (adblockers) ineffective.

Supposedly the Enterprise version of the browser is not supposed to be affected by this. Regardless we'll cross that bridge when it comes. There has been a bit of back and forth on the issue.

It was the only browser at the time that supported GPO management (other than IE), so that is what we went with.

85% of our machines are shared access, so they are pretty locked down, and things that could potentially save someone's personal information is disabled (like Chrome sign-on)

What password managers are good these days? Looking for Business/team-based features and cloud-sync, mobile app, and browser integration. Doesn't have to be free, it's for less than 10 users. Just want to get people off using passwords.txt from their desktop..

The big self hosted ones I see are Bitwarden, Passbolt, and LessPass, then services like LastPass etc. I like the idea of self-hosted and not having a 3rd party with possible access to the passwords, but it isn't critical.

Lastpass is way better at actually filling things than 1pw, because you can manually edit (and delete) the form fields it fills if need be.

No, LastPass is indeed very bad. They've had a number of security flaws and reacted badly to all of them. Most notably https://www.martinvigo.com/even-the-lastpass-will-be-stolen-deal-with-it/.

1password is the best if you don't mind using proprietary software. Otherwise, your options are basically KeePass or password-store, and while they're both very good, they aren't exactly ergonomic for the average user.

It would be really nice if password-store had features built on top of it that made it more accessible and enabled syncing and stuff. It's just a git repo after all.

Lastpass has had multiple security issues and has a bad track record of handling them. To the point where I would no longer trust them to act in good faith in the future.

I can understand this reasoning. I'm hoping 1password catches up, they seem to at least have editable form fields planned as a future feature.

Last Pass does not react well to security disclosures and has tried to dismiss some as non-issues. Also, some of the flaws discovered are typically a result of bad coding practices or lack of QA or both.

I don't care if you use Last Pass, that's a risk you've assumed yourself. But I, and others in this thread, will speak up if you recommend it for others to use.

I didn't recommend anything, but thanks for reposting the goon talking points.

But, among the two, I would recommend 1pw more.

So for full LastPass discussion, the majority of the LastPass issues were in their browser plugin. If you want to make do without that, it isn't completely awful.

Secret Server is really deep (if you pay for the fancier features) and has a cloud option now too but hosting it yourself requires windows/IIS. Its website password autofiller thing lets you pick the form fields but it's definitely kind of old and brittle compared to lastpass and such

Ha I don't think Password Reset Server had been updated in yearrrrs, Secret Server gets updated a lot though. SS supports HSMs now but that poo poo is expensive. Master encryption key can be dpapi protected on disk, but definitely lots of keys and passwords flying around in memory unprotected if someone owns the server itself

Password reset server functionality is kinda coming into SS. Yes hsms are supported at hilarious cost. Like sadus I would not qualify their trust stack as resilient

AWS has a real deal CNG-compatible CloudHsm too now with a 10k/yr price tag (plus they suggest two for HA). Azure KeyVault and AWS IAM encryption keys are wayyyyy cheaper though like a few bucks a month. We tried a trial of SS Cloud and it can tie into AWS IAM keys but meh, cloud. Azure alone has had so much downtown lately it's crazy.

All I know is some random Mr Robot episode had an "exfiltrate the HSM keys" scene which made me happy, no one I know outside or work has ever even heard of one hah.

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1217

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1225

Take a special look at the first two, where LastPass was hit with a critical vulnerability, rolled out a duct-taped fix, said everything was good - and the same exploit with a tiny bit of extra special-case bypass popped right back up again. Tavis wrote the following in his next bug report for that reason:

quote:

NOTE: Please ***do not*** release a patch until you're confident all cases have been fixed. Releasing a patch that just fixes the single case that I've made a demo for will make it very easy to identify the vulnerability and for someone to simply exploit any of the hundreds of others of cases where you've made this mistake. Please communicate with me on your plan to release fixes so that we can make sure the process goes smoothly.

The bugs are a couple of years old at this point, but general consensus on LastPass is that they're much more focused on "look at our good security!" PR than on actual security.

Yes, it can access anything on the page. You used to be able to exfiltrate local files without the user's knowledge as well. Or install things, but that was more noticeable with the default Windows security settings. There's more controls now and I haven't bothered digging into them to see how to get around them.

But the cursor needs to start in the username field, the password field needs to be the next field in sequence and the application needs to be the most recent with focus.

Yeah, the couple of websites I have to use that just seem custom designed to break password managers is just baffling. Frustratingly, one of them is the bank I use.

EDIT: It's not just their website design, if their mobile app on Android detects anything other than manually typed in characters (autofill, paste) it wipes both fields immediately for username and password. -_-
